1850 Bath Avenue
Composite verdict
This address is recorded as a 1-floor, 0-unit commercial/office building built in 1930, owned by NYCLHL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT LLC — not a residential property in city records. HPD registration data is unavailable (consistent with a commercial classification), and rent stabilization data is also unavailable. Before signing anything, you need to understand exactly what legal use is being offered to you, because the city's own records do not show this as a residential address.

- City records classify this as a 1-floor office building with 0 residential units — what is the legal use listed on the certificate of occupancy, and can the landlord provide a copy before you sign?
- HPD has no registration on file for this building, which is consistent with a commercial property — if you're being offered a residential lease, ask the landlord to explain how the space is legally permitted for residential occupancy.
- 311 records show 150 'Illegal Parking' and 45 'Blocked Driveway' complaints nearby, plus 17 'Building/Use' complaints — what are those Building/Use complaints about, and do any relate to this specific address?
- The building was built in 1930 and is now 96 years old — what major systems (electrical, plumbing, heating) have been updated, and can the landlord provide documentation of those upgrades?
- Crime score is 75/100 (B grade) with 14 incidents nearby including 2 felony assaults and 3 petit larceny incidents — what security measures (locks, lighting, intercom) are in place at the building entrance?
- Rent stabilization data is unavailable because this BBL is not in the WoW database — if any residential tenancy is being offered, ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent stabilized and request written confirmation in the lease.
- Confirm with your own eyes that the space is actually configured for residential use — look for a functioning kitchen, bathroom, and heating system, since city records show 0 residential units in a 1-floor office building.
- Check the building's posted certificate of occupancy (legally required to be displayed) to verify whether residential use is permitted; a mismatch between what's posted and what you're being offered is a serious red flag.
- Assess the condition of the 96-year-old structure: look for visible signs of aging infrastructure — exposed or outdated wiring, water staining on ceilings or walls, deteriorating plumbing fixtures, and the state of any common areas or entry points.
